Description

Opening by Gilbert Castellanos Quartet

A two-time Grammy-winner and seven-time nominee, Gregory Porter has undoubtedly become jazz’s most celebrated male vocalist, “a jazz singer of thrilling presence, a booming baritone with a gift for earthy refinement and soaring uplift” (New York Times). Joined by his band, he will share music from his 2020 Blue Note album, All Rise, and his 2021 favorites collection, Still Rising.

Listen to Gregory Porter’s interview with Dave Drexler on Jazz88.
